With Hurricane Sandy causing a state of emergency along the United States’ northeast coast, Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos has been forced to cancel a planned trip to America and Canada, including a stop in New York.

The minister’s office said the trip would have to be rescheduled but did not give any dates.
